“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭

Happy Thursday dear friends.  The first few days of spring have been eventful for much of the country, with snow falling across the eastern part of the U.S.  and the fourth Nor’easter in three weeks.  Alabama, my home state, was hit by violent tornadoes, and soft ball size hail on Monday night.  Many homes were completely destroyed within a twenty-five mile radius of our home, including some major damage to Jacksonville State University.   We personally know families that lost their homes or that were severely damaged.  We continue to pray for all that have been impacted.  Butch and I are so thankful that we didn’t experience any damage.

With so many people suffering, I refuse to complain that we have frost this morning.  But I can’t help but look forward to warmer weather for digging, weeding, and planting in the garden. Have you been able to get started, or are you waiting for the weather to moderate and the ground to warm up?  With gardening on my mind, let’s grab a cup of coffee or tea and get a few ideas!  You can see more of my garden here.

 The arbor has been a part of our landscape for years.  Butch built it more than thirty years ago to hold a swing.  It was originally in our front yard and it was moved many years ago to the back of our house.  Lady Banks roses climb the arbor and they are loaded with buds if the frost doesn’t get them!  The old rusty iron boy and girl are my favorite statuaries!

Last year fountain grass filled the garden urn. The building is often mistaken for a guest house, but it is Butch’s workshop!READ MORE
